This is a guide on how to become a very good Crusader. If you're on a budget, this is the best class for you.

Race

Doesn't matter, but I recommend that you go Elf, since it give you more HP and Such.

Pros

Can kill pretty good with magic based skills (1-2 hits aoe at higher levels). You will be able to mob monsters very well if you have an octo. Can fool other people that you're a mage. haha You save a lot of money going this class. trust me. You don't really need pots.

Cons

I don't really see any cons in this, because it is so good to me.

Paths

This paths will ensure that you can still mob monsters and survive while leveling your character. It is the best path for a crusader. Please do not go any other path as you really need tanking abilities and high defense.

Fighter --> Guard --> Infantry ---> Palanx ---> Crusader

Stats

Since you're going to be a magical knight you will need full int! Don't worry about your hp, because going through those job path you will be able to mob monster and kill fast. You have to ride an octo first before you go killing monsters.

---> Full int
